AeroTrain has arrived at Dulles Airport

The Metropolitan
Washington Airports Authority marked the opening of AeroTrain, the new underground
airport train system at Washington Dulles International Airport, on Jan. 26.

AeroTrain is a quick and
convenient way to transport passengers from the Main Terminal to the midfield
concourses. The nearly four-mile AeroTrain system includes four underground
train stations, a vehicle maintenance facility, and a passenger security
screening facility built on a new mezzanine level in the Main, with less than
two minutes of travel time between stations.

The AeroTrain system is
the centerpiece of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's capital
development program called D2, Dulles Development. More than $3 billion has
been invested in Dulles Airport improvements since 2001 with completed projects
including: a new airport traffic control tower, new runway, Concourse B
extension, two new parking garages, a moving walkway to Concourse B, and the expansion
of the Main Terminal. Work is continuing on the expansion of the International
Arrivals Building adjacent to the Main Terminal.
